  1. Xbox has had a couple pro style controllers come out, and I know the PS4 and probably PS5 have had some pro controllers released, but I wasn't aware of any Sony made pro controllers. Does Sony make their own pro controllers? Or are we still to wait for them to release their own one of these days?
  2. Do you ever feel like you don't get enough time with games or gaming in general? These days, since I started a new job, I've been more busy than usual. I want to game more, but when I can, it's either too late or I just can't be bothered to. Do you guys ever feel like you don't get enough game time?
  3. With FF7 Remake doing good, I was curious to know if you think Square Enix will also try to remake 8 and up? They're taking their sweet old time with the parts to FF7, but could we eventually see a remake to 8, 9 and all PS1/PS2 games? Would you welcome remakes for all those games in the style of the FF7 remake? Or no to remakes?
  4. I'm thinking about jumping back into Cyberpunk 2077, as it's been about a year since I played it. But, I don't want to play the main game anymore, I want to try out mods. Has anyone here tried mods in Cyberpunk? What is your favorite mods to play? I want to give them a try soon, but don't want to break the game either. Any suggestions?
  5. Found out about this game here - https://mp1st.com/news/battlefield-2042-parody-game-clownfield-2042-is-real-and-doesnt-hold-back-on-the-insults I guess there is a parody game called Clownfield 2042, which goes to town on Battlefield 2042 for its rocky release and many bugs and problems. Would anyone here play this game? I think I would. It looks like some dumb fun. Also, was there sound in the video above? I didn't hear any.
  6. And a sad day as Tencent eats another studio. Tencent has acquired Turtle Rock Studios, who have recently made Back 4 Blood and are also responsible for. For those who don't know, tencent is a mobile game development company/publisher that is massively rich, and I believe they are based in China. Either way, they're known to be kinda deceptive and are money hungry for sure. You can read more about this sad news here - https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20211217005008/en/ 😞
  7. Well she tried to return them, but had trouble. Instead the Target employees decided to gift her the six consoles. They said she could give them away to family as Christmas gifts, or to whoever could use them. Grandma, can I get a switch please? 😄 Read about this news here - https://www.12news.com/article/life/heartwarming/an-arizona-mom-tried-to-return-nintendo-switches-mistakenly-delivered-to-her-now-target-is-gifting-them-back-as-thanks/75-9c355038-8c40-45d1-bfd8-ab849a6f2196
  8. I don't know if you guys enjoyed the game Gex back in the 90s on the PS1/N64 consoles. I don't remember if it ever hit the generation after, but do correct me if I'm wrong. This of course should be taken with a grain of salt, as it's reported that Square Enix has trademarked "Gex" in Europe. So it could be a possible start to an eventual reboot, or remake even. That's what the gaming world wants to do more often these days. Anyway, it could just be them saving their property as they own Gex through Eidos I guess. So we'll see.

    Returnal

    Has anyone here played the game Returnal? It's like one of those Dark Souls clones, where it's crazy tough, and when you die, you have to like go back and collect your stuff. I heard it was really good, but it's one of those games that takes ages to beat because of its difficulty. It's a PS5 exclusive as well. One of these days I'll get myself a PS5 and maybe I'll play it. Check the trailer below.
  10. The thing is, the gaming industry needs a union. So many studios push their developers to work long hours, and to do crunch to get a game done. I think it's fair to have a union out there to better protect the developers and other workers who are often screwed over by studios and publishers. Something has to be done, because there's been a slew of stories about how so many studios promote crunch. On top of that, developers don't get the best pay either.
  11. It was forgettable? Is that a good way to put it? It wasn't bad, but no one really paid much attention to it. I could see them doing a sequel, to fix the mistakes they made with the first game. True, but for a game like this, I could see it resulting in a remaster or a sequel. I'm starting to lean more towards a sequel though, or even an outright reboot.
  12. Oh for sure. it wasn't until they started doing 3D worlds that they blew up. The first top down games were popular, but not on the level of GTA 3 and the sequels to follow. I think GTA would have survived on Xbox, if anything it would have pushed Xbox ahead. But, it's very likely that Rockstar still would have dropped Microsoft and go multi-platform later. These days studios are leaving exclusivity deals and doing multiplatform or are outright getting bought up by studios. So Rockstar probably would have done just fine.
  13. Yeah, that isn't fun. Which is why I like cloud backups. It just copies the last valid save and keeps that on the cloud for you. Backups shouldn't overwrite saves unless you load it over it. But yeah, any cloud saves that overwrite your manual save is a no go for me.
  14. I have no issues with games being cinematic, it's just when games only focus is to be cinematic. Maybe the rest of the game is mediocre and paint by numbers, but the cutscenes and other aspects are presented better. With Hellblade 2, even though you are mostly moving around, to me, it feels more like you're on a track, and have to follow it. That's how I view it more as cinematic compared to being in control. Because sure, I could stop moving, and get killed, but you're essentially moving into a direction that is predetermined. Does that make sense? Anyway, I know the game will have combat, which I'm psyched for. So it's not 100% just cinematic. QTE events are worse for sure. I absolutely hated them in Indigo Prophecy and any other game to come after.
  15. Yup indeed. Fanboys are a big problem, since they fawn over their favorite games and companies, and if you argue with them about it, or say something bad, they flip out. They are the reason that so many game companies get away with their abuse and unfair treatment, because they keep putting money down for said games. It's just a bit annoying to see how idiotic some fans can be for their favorite things. It's almost like when you talk bad about a game, they will take it to heart pretty much.
  16. Would be an interesting time to go back to. Seeing the many arcades, and seeing what Pac-Man and other arcades did for the time. I grew up in the 90s, so arcades weren't as huge back then, and soon enough, most arcades are pretty much gone. So I think it would have been cool, going to the arcade on the weekends to play games. I never got to experience that, so I'd go back and do that I think.
  17. Yeah, I can see this bringing in a ton for studios and publishers. I know many gamers who would be so into this, and will find ways to abuse the system if possible. I agree. It's just going to result in more riches for the studios and we'll get nothing great in return. That's how it always is for us gamers. We get screwed over and the big studios get awarded with more and more cash which never goes to the actual developers, but the big time publisher. I just won't use the feature in games I get, if they have it. I still have hopes that NFTs will die out soon. I still think it could be a fad that will drop off at some point. I hope.
  18. I believe Dog's Life was the one I played in demo form all those years ago, pretty sure on the PS2 at one point. I don't remember much about the demo, but I remembered the controls were fairly decent. I need to replay Spyro, haven't played it since I played the original on the PS1 back with my nephew. It's been a long time. But yeah, I'll have to revisit Dog's Life and maybe Spyro while I'm at it. Thanks for the suggestions!
  19. yeah I saw some on Amazon a while back, but wasn't sure if I wanted to grab one of those. Just seemed awfully cheap. But I will keep an eye out for any others that may be worth it. Do you have any suggestions for good USB vacuums?
  20. Graphics for me aren't that important. As long as it doesn't hurt my eyes, and I can play without much fuss, I will be happy with the end result. Now, if the graphics are a major downgrade and make it hard to sit through, then yeah, I'd hope for a graphic update at least.
  21. Glad to hear it. I can play most games, but any that may be resource hogs I try to not play for long periods of time, because I am paranoid it would result in damage to my PC. But I found I just turn down the settings. Even when settings are turned down, the games still usually look good, so I can't complain. 🙂 Yeah, I heard if there is a lot of abuse to the computer, it would just shut down to protect itself. I haven't encountered that yet thankfully. 🙂
  22. Yup, that's one issue I have to. I see a game I want in my collection and bam, I have more games that I won't be touching anytime soon. I still have Borderlands 3 sitting on my shelf, brand new, and yet to even play it. I was considering just giving it away to my nephew, since I really have no interest in playing it anytime soon.
  23. Yeah I guess Cuphead would fit into this, because who would have thought a game about a cup would make it big. But yeah, it does seem to be quite meme heavy in some regards. I've yet to play it myself, I hear it's pretty tough.
  24. You don't need to play them, but they are good games in their own right and I'd say they are worth going through to get a feel for what GTA used to be and what it has become. GTA V is vastly different than the original 3D trilogy, but it stands in its own category if anything. GTA V is more serious, but the past GTA games are more relaxed and comical, also random. But I'd recommend playing them all. Except for maybe GTA 3 because it's not nearly as good as the sequels. Though it's the first one I played in the series and still rather love.
  25. Ah nice, good to know. I heard a while back you could do it, so I was curious how it worked. I guess they make it work like the other player is just using a second controller, not sure. But it's cool that they're making these retro games playable online with friends. Now if we could see other NES and classic retro games, get this treatment somehow, that'd be cool. I'd love to see all cart based games playable online somehow. Maybe through emulation or through Nintendo's online service. But now that I see it's possible, I want to see other retro games do the same.
